Yeah , that is in SEC , kemptown seagull was stating all the away tickets in ESL should be sold first before SEC

Anyone received their tickets yet? (obviously to whom that are not season ticket holders), bought mine about 3 weeks ago and nothing has arrived. Don't recall waiting this long when i've purchased tickets in the past?

So approx 900 went on sale weeks ago and we sold 400. And when the other 1500 go on sale, does anyone think we will shift them? I don't, maybe half if we're lucky. I am really pissed off at the club in the way they have allocated the seating areas. They've ended up having away fans behind the south goal (if they sell out). What was the point of moving them anyway? And if it's a lower profile game with less away fans the south looks like being empty-half empty. The away fans should have been shifted a block further into the east and less in the south and we could have sold more ST's in the south. Then you'd only have one block behind the goal to away fans and not both. It's a f*** up. People can give me all sorts of reasons here and there why this is the case, but it's a new stadium! This should have been thought of before hand. Instead we are left with empty seats or away fans behind the goal. I hope it doesn't work out like that and I'm proved wrong.

This isn't strictly true is it? The away fans are only in the eastern blocks of the south stand, so not behind the goal. I do agree tho that the way that season tickets were sold is a little bit strange - I'd have thought that block in the south which has been kept for matchdays tickets could have been made available for STHs...
My main complaint really is that they didn't release all the home blocks for STHs at the same time. That way there would have been an even distribution of STHs throughout the stadium. As it currently is, there will undoubtedly be games where there are large chunks of empty seating. If all the empty seats were dotted around, this would be much less noticeable....
I also can't understand why the club didn't continue selling STs right up until (and even beyond) the start of the season. I imagine this is something to do with the need to print the smart cards etc, but it seems ridiculous that someone wanting a ST a month before the season starts has to be put on a waiting list for the following season even though there are still around a thousand seats they could sell as STs.

It really grates me that some make such statements without any substance.
A simple look on either the Barnsley or Cardiff website will reveal that their fans are given the choice of either the corners or the side.
If you can't be arsed to look, then why bother to post such drivel?
I imagine concourses are an issue and the club have been taken a little but surprise by the sales and need to expand quite as quick. I'd think they would try and fix for next season although not sure how as it will mean moving some STH's out of the East and into the South which might not go down well. But if Barber is any good no way he'll let revenue opportunity be missed
I know there's a week or so to go yet, but has anyone actually received their tickets for this yet?
I bought one when they first went on sale, but haven't actually received it.

The next 12 months will prove interesting in this regard. And let's hope that cost cutting and price hiking doesn't actually serve to lessen the matchday experience and revenues.
I hope not, a pretty blunt instrument and I've got to believe he's smarter than that. But sitting looking at empty blocks of seats (if that's what happen) will have him reacting pretty quickly I'd have thought

Gus is telling us all there are plenty of seats available.

Looking at the online sales, I have a feeling the eastern half of block S1G will also become available, as I never saw this available to ST's or on a per game basis. This would still mean we have 1600 + those still available.
I reckon we can still shift them though!! Maybe........
We have to remember, that we will always have home fans behind 50% of the goal for all the games and behind the whole goal for many more.
Personally, so it does not look empty (in case the doom mongers are right and they don't shift) then the whole of the south stand should be out on sale the moment we know the aways will not need it.
Out of interest, how many might be holding back, wanting to be in the other half of the south, nearer the aways for the extra atmosphere?
With the introduction of NE corners next year, it might be time for the club to go back and get planning changed so tickets can be sold on the day (at the ground and not just online/phones).

Not got mine yet. I am guessing they will be sent out the same time as the new season tickets.

Oh do f*** off , it was your ill thought out suggestion that any club bringing between 850 and 1,200 in your thread (Visiting team ticket allocations at the Amex) all had to be in ESL without a choice which prompted the post by kemptown seagull (post #29) which you corrected for him but you overlooked my earlier post (post #27)

What I said was a suggestion. You blatantly said that other clubs have to sell one section and then the other - this is clearly not the case.

I phoned the tcket office on Friday as I needed to change two tickets to U18s. They told me that the tickets were being printed at the time and should be issued early next week. I have just received my two amended tickets (Which were printed in the ticket office), but havent got my four "original" tickets yet (which is just what they told me would happen). I am sure they will be with us in the next couple of days...

I said nothing of the sort , I've been telling all the doom mongers there are 2 prices for away clubs , namely ESL and SEC (plus part of South Stand for large followings) to sell to their fans not that they have to sell the £28 tickets first.

You said "Apart from price discrimination of selling the more expensive tickets first...."
They are not - The away teams can choose.
Strewth!
